LONDON, Dee. 20.-The fact which was de-
yeloped in the closing days OF the Campbell
divorce case that the duke Of Marlborough,
whose acknowledged intimacy with Lady
Aylesford afforded the basis upon which the
~latter's husband obtained a divorce, had not
only offered to marry the lady but had settled
tue sum Of 5000 upon the child which had
been born, supposedly as the result Of that

feeling In his favor. Like General Butler if
the Campbell ease the da';e failed To put in an
appearance In the Aylcsford case, and conse-
Q%uently came IN for a good share of denuncia-
citation and odium. Now, however, that It

Own theory regarding the mystery, but strange
enough all three Of them discredit the idea
that the missing man got as far az Creive non

interested themselves IN tAe case, including

pie means who has a forte for this kind OF
business, and it would not be surprising IT.,
Notwithstanding, the final conclusion the
